4 Popular CycIopcdin.

A Cyclopedia which presents concise
and redable biographical sketches togeth-
er with choice and characteristic selec
tons from the writings of eminent au-
thors of all ages and all nations, surely
ought to be in great popular demand
II its costs were not prohibitory. Such a
work is Alden's Cyclopedia of Univer-
sal Literature. Volume VI. of which,
now published. contains 40 pages, large
type, beautifully printed and bound,
and includes with il the names of eighty
two eminent authors, among which are:
Dana, Dante, Darwin, Dandot, Jefferson
Davis Sir III umphrey Davy, DeFoe, (of
Robinson Crusoe fame), Dem1sthenes,
DeQuipcey, Deseartes, Dickens, Disraeli.
Doddriuge, and Douglas. 1t would seem
hardly possible to plan any literary work
more eninently redable and interest
ing, if the compiling and editing wero
we'll dono-and the nearly universal YER
dict seems to be that this rs very we'll
done indeed. And the price. Only Ihe
Literary Revolution could have accomp-
lished such a wonder 30 cents a volume
for these beautiful cloth-bound books,
or 60 cents Tor hall-morocco binding,l
The publisher offers sample volume to
any one with privilege to return if not
satisfactory. Any one interested in high
class literature ought to send for Mr..
Alden's 81 page Cataloge of Standard

stated last evening to reporter of the
Herald that in case he was offered seat
on the Supreme bench ne would accept It
as the greatest honor Of mis- life. About
the rumor that Don M. Dickinson Of De-
troit would probably be invited TO accept
g portfolio IN President Cleyeland's Cabi-
net, Mr.. Lamar said he knew nothing
OF the matter, but he paid
high compliment TO the Detroit
gentleman, and thought it Was 10
6ispsragemeut to his character that
he was active in politics. He thought
this might be acceptable to the rank OF
the Democratic party, So Mr. Dickinson
was not only good politician In an hon
est sense of that term, but he wss good
Democrat. In regard to Sparks resigna-
ton ne said: "Mr. Sparks' resignation
will involve no detection or abatement
from the policy which President CIeve-
land hes established with reference TO the
preservation OF our public lands from il
legal appropriation by corporations ana
land spectators"
Mr. Lamar then paid tribute to Presi-
dent Cleveland So the authot of tn laad
reforms which had been in ,ugura ed by
this administration in accordance with the
well known policy Of the Democratic
party. AS to Mr.. Sparks taking credit
foo these great achievements, Mr.. Lamar
only laughed, "The work will go on Just
